In the first of a series of workshops around sexualities, genders and relationship styles, LJ will facilitate a safer space for therapists with a curiosity for this work to explore how it might be to question gender and identity.
In the current climate of confusion around trans identities and government decisions, it can be complex to think about working with trans people.
In this experiential workshop, LJ will facilitate discussion around gender, giving space for questions and dialogue, as well as providing space to puzzle out some of the nitty-gritty around the work in a safer environment that will empower therapists thinking about wanting to work with trans clients.
Learning Objective Participants Can Expect From This Event:
- Participants will have a deeper understanding of their own and others’ relationships to gender
- Participants will have a deeper level of appropriate language when communicating with trans people
- Participants will have a higher level of cultural competence when working with trans people
Who is This Workshop Appropriate For?
- Any counsellor, either qualified or in training
How May This Workshop Impact Your Practice?
- This will facilitate counsellors’ practice, allowing for deeper levels of connection with clients
